What

How do you react in uncomfortable situations? Are you able to step back from the day-to-day to focus on the larger, more strategic challenges your organisation is facing? What impact is your leadership having on those around you? This interactive workshop will explore these questions. During this workshop, participants will:

Develop an awareness of how they react in uncomfortable situations and have some strategies for managing this discomfort
Improve their decision-making and ensure that their work is aligned with their organisation’s strategic priorities
Reflect on their own leadership and learn the techniques to lead more effectively across organisational boundaries

Why

With hybrid and cross-cultural working now the norm, leading across boundaries has never been more important. We understand that leaders are learning on the job and will have many questions that spring up along the way.

Boardroom.Inc, an immersive business simulation designed by our partners GingrTech, will help you to answer all of these questions and more. Working with your fellow participants you will be asked to build an organisation that expands, has improved processes and is profitable and fully agile in its marketplace. Please note that you will need to bring a laptop to this workshop.
